								Drupal Components are independent libraries that do not depend on the rest of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Drupal in order to function.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Components MAY depend on other Drupal Components or external libraries/packages,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								but MUST NOT depend on any other Drupal code.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								In other words, only dependencies that can be specified in a composer.json file
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								of the Component are acceptable dependencies.  Every Drupal Component presents a
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								valid dependency, because it is assumed to contain a composer.json file (even
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								if it may not exist yet).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Each Component should be in its own namespace, and should be as self-contained
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								as possible.  It should be possible to split a Component off to its own
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								repository and use as a stand-alone library, independently of Drupal.
